When Kevin McCully first came on as Paysonâs fuels manager, he learned ash was a big part of his job.
âMy first week on the job, Toby Waugh took me to the Blattner brush pit and told me the looming issue to fuel management was to find a different way to get rid of the biomass or a new place for a brush pit,â said McCully.
The Regional Payson Area Project (RPAP) developed the brush pits around 2001.
âRPAP was a collaboration between local, state, federal and county agencies and concerned citizens,â said McCully.
